Look for the padlock
Where to start?
Before entering sensitive information (such as your
credit or debit card details) into a website, you should
always check that this information is being handled
in a secure manner. Make sure that the data being sent
is encrypted (i.e. scrambled or encoded) as this makes
it much more difficult for anyone else to read or change
your personal information.
Whenever you are typing in personal information, make
sure that the web address (in the address bar) begins
with https (the s stands for 'secure'). Also check to
see if a small locked padlock appears in the browser
window. You need to check that it is in the window frame of the browser itself. (see images below) |
